Phrasing “human-level” as “roughly as good as humans at science etc.” (in the questions) is incorrect, because it requires the AI to be human-like in their ability. Instead, it should be something like “roughly as good as humans (or better, perhaps unevenly) at science etc.”. That parenthetical is important, as it distinguishes the magical matching of multiple abilities to human level, which respondents rightly object to, from a more well-defined lower bound where you require that it’s at least as capable.
If human-level is defined as “able to solve the same set of problems that a human can within the same time”, I don’t think there would be the problem that you mention. The whole purpose of the “human-level” adjective, as far as I can tell, is to avoid the condition that the AI architecture in question is similar to the human brain in any way whatsoever.
Consecutively, the set of human-level AI’s is much larger than the set of human-level human-like AI’s.

Right, thanks. I didn’t see that. Will change the questions according to your suggestion.
